What happens when Pikachu misses the Quick Attack?

Quick Attack is one of the most famous moves of the electric mouse because of the Pokémon anime, because between us, this move is pretty average in games. It is very useful to leave a pokémon with red HP to capture at least.

In the anime, Ash loves to use this move, and we’ve seen his Pikachu miss a few times, but what about in games? What happens when Pikachu misses the Quick Attack?

Well, a fan of the series decided to create an animation showing how Pikachu behaves if he ends up missing the target of his quick attack, and the animation is kind of cute, as it follows the logic of games:

ピカチュウ の でんこうせっか！
しかし うまくきまらなかった！
PIKACHU used QUICK ATTACK!

Pokeyugami has created several animations of this type, taking the events of classic games and putting it into more modern and interesting animation like the one above.

As an added bonus, @pokeyugami’s video is structured so that the last frame flows back to the first, so you can enjoy an endless loop of Pikachu’s fast off-target attack, but every time that adorable Pokemon walks from back her eyes fill with cuteness.
